Why do we assume we’re all made to procreate?
When that’s not the thing for which my body decided to advocate?
Children are a way,
to leave behind a trace.
But it’s totally okay,
if your impact lives in another space.
Extending yourself as immortal.
A way to live on forever.
Entering through a portal,
to someone else’s endeavour.
But who said you can only do that through biology?
When we all share a piece of the same ethnology?
Because the extension,
is not the cells you pass on.
Even though it’s a convention,
to assume that’s how we live on.
The thing we actually give,
is love for one another.
It’s the only thing that will outlive,
the existence of a mother.
